Average Fade Duration of Dual Selection Diversity over Correlated Unbalanced Nakagami-m Fading Channels in the Presence of Cochannel Interference

摘要

A dual selection combining (SC) receiver with correlated and unbalanced diversity branches operating in interference-limited Nakagami-m fading environment is considered in this paper. Actually, average fade duration (AFD) of SC system applying desired signal decision algorithm is obtained. Numerical results can be used to examine the effects of fading severity, input signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) unbalance and level of branch correlation on the AFD, as well as the correctness of proposed analytical formulation.
